Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the open Gulf of Thailand into the sprawling urban landscape of Bangkok, featuring the iconic Chao Phraya River mouth.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Thailand

Vast turquoise waters dotted with traditional fishing vessels and cargo ships.

🚢

Samut Prakan Port

A birds-eye view of massive logistics hubs and cargo ships entering the river system.

🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

Panoramic views of the Sukhumvit high-rises and the metropolitan core during final approach.

🚤

Chao Phraya Delta

The winding 'Snake River' as it meets the sea, showcasing the famous Phra Samut Chedi.

Ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. As the plane descends into the Bangkok basin, you will get an unobstructed view of the shipping lanes and the 'Pig's Stomach' bend of the Chao Phraya River. Sit behind the wing for the clearest views of the city skyline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Tenasserim Range

The mist-covered mountain border between Thailand and Myanmar visible in the distance.

🏖️

Hua Hin Coastline

Famous white sand beaches and seaside resorts along the western Gulf coast.

🧂

Phetchaburi Salt Pans

Geometric, colorful patches of salt evaporation ponds near the shoreline.

🦐

Aquaculture Farms

Intricate patterns of shrimp and fish ponds in the Samut Sakhon delta area.

Choose this side on late afternoon flights for stunning sunsets over the Tenasserim Hills. Keep an eye out for the vibrant, grid-like salt pans which look like a colorful patchwork quilt from above during the descent phase.
